Next Steps in Superintendent Hiring Process

As described in the Sept. 21st email, the School Committee has committed to formally evaluate the current interim superintendent, Dr. Anna Nolin, for the permanent position. This evaluation process will provide all stakeholders with the opportunity to provide input and feedback so that the Committee can make an informed, thoughtful, and transparent decision.

Below, please find dates for the focus groups, as well as a timeline for the overall process. All community members are welcome to attend any or all of the sessions.

A note about the process: the "focus groups" will be facilitated by the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (MASC) and/or School Committee members. The interim superintendent will NOT be in attendance. It is your chance to provide input on various questions that will be asked. The "community interview" will be the opportunity for you to ask questions of Dr. Nolin directly, as is our process with principal searches. The "school committee interview" will be the final step in the process in which School Committee members will interview Dr. Nolin. The public is welcome to attend this session.

In addition to these in-person sessions, we will be providing an online survey. The survey will be distributed via email on Wednesday, October 10th. The survey will be anonymous and will be open until October 24th. Please look for the email in your inbox on Wednesday.

Your feedback, input, and opinions are critical and we hope that you will plan to participate in this process.
